My roof developed a leak recently and has to be done before the next rain.

Oil was climbing steadily, but refined products like Gas haven’t.

Needless to say I had to tear the whole kitchen ceiling out to get to the leak.

My reason is to help some of the people because the price of gas, the job market & the loans have them in such a tough spot right now.

I grew up with off these gas floor furnaces.

He is checking for any plumbing leaks, loose doorknobs, repairs that need to be done, conditions that might lead to mold, or any indication that pest control needs to be called.

Get some signs, go to mom and pop shops in the area you are interested in (such as pawn shops, small gas stations, etc.)

We just spent weeks trying to diagnose why a new hot water Pressure Relief Value leaked over time.
